बाल्यात्प्रभृति यत्पापं यौवने चापि यत्कृतम् । तत्सर्वं विलयं याति देवदेवस्य दर्शनात्
bālyātprabhṛti yatpāpaṃ yauvane cāpi yatkṛtam | tatsarvaṃ vilayaṃ yāti devadevasya darśanāt
Quel que soit le péché commis dès l’enfance, et celui accompli dans la jeunesse aussi, tout cela se dissout par le darśana du Dieu des dieux.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīrtha sphere (contextual)

Scene: The sage enumerates sins from childhood and youth dissolving at Devadeva’s darśana; the king listens with softened expression; river and shrine form the sacred backdrop.
Sincere approach to the divine at a tīrtha can dissolve deep-rooted moral impurities accumulated across one’s life.
